DA says elections must go ahead, UDM warns it's a superspreader recipe

The DA has described calls for local government elections to be postponed as irresponsible and emotional statements.

The DA became the latest political party after ActionSA to say elections must go ahead, despite overwhelming evidence before the inquiry that the country could be into the fourth wave of Covid-19 infections by then and population immunity would not have been achieved. “It is our strong submission that the protestations of political parties that local government elections should be postponed because it will lead to the infection and death of many South Africans are irresponsible and emotional statements which are not founded in any way on the analysis of these by-elections or the proposed protocol of the commission [for local government elections],” said Horn.

Unless the constitution is amended, that is the only legal view! The mandate of the current local government ends this year, a new one must be renewed with the community!

Did you expect them to say something different?
